INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 


Article  30,  Chapter  136,  Public  Laws  of  1923,  changes  the  method  of 
adopting  elementary  text-books  for  the  schools  of  the  State.  This  law 
provides  that  not  more  than  one  major  and  two  minor  subjects  can  be 
changed  in  any  one  year,  provided  satisfactory  arrangements  are  made 
as  to  prices  and  distribution  in  the  indefinite  contracts  for  the  remaining 
books.  In  this  way  the  change  of  a  great  number  of  books  in  any  one 
year  is  avoided. 

The  Text-book  Commission  in  its  report  of  November  1,  1927,  sub- 
mitted to  the  State  Board  of  Education  multiple  lists  in  the  major  sub- 
ject of  language  and  grammar  and  in  the  minor  subject  of  health.  From 
these  lists  adoptions  were  made  for  a  five-year  period.  These  contracts 
are  valid  as  of  June  1,  1928,  and  become  effective  in  the  school  year 
1928-29.  All  other  books  now  on  the  list  were  contracted  for  in  indefinite 
contracts,  that  is  for  not  less  than  one  nor  more  than  five  years. 

In  renewing  the  old  contracts  for  elementary  text-books  and  in  making 
new  contracts,  the  State  Board  of  Education  made  every  effort  known 
to  it  to  secure  the  lowest  possible  retail  prices  to  the  patrons  of  the 
public  schools.  In  order  to  do  this  it  was  found  necessary  to  make  two 
kinds  of  contract.  For  the  information  of  boards  of  education,  local 
dealers,  and  patrons  of  the  schools  the  law,  both  contract  forms,  and 
the  list  of  books  under  each  form  of  contract,  are  printed  herein.  The 
expression  "central  depository"  and  "local  depository"  are  clearly  de- 
fined in  these  contract  forms. 

The  main  features  in  the  two  contract  forms  are  as  follows: 

a.  The  retail  contract.  Under  the  retail  form  of  contract  the  local 
depositories  secure  their  books  through  a  central  depository  located  in 
Raleigh.  The  books  are  delivered  prepaid  to  the  local  depositories  on 
consignment,  and  are  sold  to  the  patrons  at  the  contract  prices  printed 
on  the  back  of  the  book.  After  deducting  its  commission,  the  local 
depository  settles  with  the  central  depository.  Under  section  4  of  the 
retail  contract  form  the  following  companies  have  been  designated  to 
sell  their  books  in  this  way: 

Ginn  and   Company  Row,  Peterson  &  Company   . 

D.  C.  Heath  and  Company  Scott,   Foresman    and    Company 

Houghton   Mifflin   Company  University  Publishing  Company 

Johnson  Publishing  Company  Alfred  Williams  &  Company 

Laidlaw  Brothers,  Inc.  Zaner  &  Bloser  Company 

b.  The  wholesale  contract.  Under  the  wholesale  form  of  contract  the 
local  dealer  buys  direct  from  the  publisher  at  the  net  f.  o.  b.  prices  printed 
herein.  The  local  dealer  also  pays  the  carrying  charges  on  these  books, 
as  the  prices  listed  herein  are  f.  o.  b.  prices.  The  local  dealer  then 
retails  them  to  the  patrons  of  the  public  schools  at  a  price  not  to  exceed  the 
retail  price  printed  on  the  cover  of  each  book,  which  retail  price  has  been 
fixed,  under  the  contract,  by  the  State  Board  of  Education.  This  is  a 
purchase  and  not  a  consignment.  The  following  companies  have  signed 
the   wholesale   contract: 


4  Elementary  Text-books 

Allyn  and  Bacon  A.  N.   Palmer  Company 

American  Book  Company  Practical  Drawing  Company 

Iroquois  Publishing  Company  Silver,  Burdett  &  Company 

c.  Boards  of  education.  Under  the  terms  of  these  contracts  county 
and  city  boards  of  education  may  purchase  books  direct  from  all  pub- 
lishers at  the  f.  o.  b.  prices  printed  herein.  This  is  a  purchase  and  not 
a  consignment,  and  under  the  terms  of  the  contract  the  boards  of  educa- 
tion will  be  responsible  for  the  carrying  charges.  County  and  city  boards 
of  education  may  also,  in  their  discretion,  secure  the  books  of  the  ten 
publishers  with  retail  contracts  from  the  central  depository  on  consign- 
ment, freight  prepaid,  less  the  commission  of  10%  on  the  retail  price 
ordinarily  allowed  local  dealers. 

After  obtaining  the  books  either  on  consignment  or  by  direct  purchase, 
the  county  or  city  board  of  education  may  sell  the  books  to  the  patrons 
of  the  schools  at  a  price  not  to  exceed  the  retail  price  printed  thereon. 
If  the  board  of  education  sees  fit,  it  may  sell  these  books  at  cost,  thereby 
saving  the  patrons  of  the  school  10%   of  the  retail  price. 

d.  Local  depositories.  Under  the  terms  of  the  retail  contract,  local 
depositories  must  secure  the  books  of  the  ten  publishers  having  retail 
contracts  from  the  central  depository  on  consignment  with  freight  pre- 
paid. They  may  secure  the  books  from  the  six  publishers  holding  whole- 
sale contracts  at  the  net  f.  o.  b.  prices  printed  herein.  In  this  latter 
case  the  local  depository  must  pay  the  carrying  charges,  as  this  is  a 
direct  purchase  and  not  a  consignment. 

All  local  depositories  should  keep  on  hand  at  all  times  all  of  the 
adopted  books  of  all  the  publishers,  so  that  the  patrons  of  the  schools 
will  not  be  inconvenienced  in  purchasing  these  books. 

On  the  new  language  and  health  books  there  is  an  exchange  price  valid 
until  January   1,   19  29.      (See  section   3   of  the  retail  contract.) 

The  books  to  be  used  in  the  elementary  grades  (1-7)  are  listed  by 
subjects  and  by  form  of  contract  under  which  each  book  may  be  sold 
to  the  patrons  of  the  schools.  These  books  are  also  listed  by  the  grades 
in  which  they  are  to  be  taught.  Superintendents  will  observe  that  there 
is  a  considerable  reduction  in  price  on  forty-five  of  the  fifty-four  books 
listed. 

The  Text-book  Commission  made  no  recommendation  of  changes  in  the 
supplementary  books.  This  list,  therefore,  is  the  same  as  used  hereto- 
fore, with  the  exception  that  there  is  _  a  change  in  price  on  several  of 
the  books. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  new  plan  of  distribution  will  prove  beneficial  both 
to  the  patrons  and  publishers,  to  the  end  that  elementary  books  may 
be  supplied  in  a  convenient  manner,  and  at  a  less  price  than  has  been 
possible   heretofore.

LAW 

(Public  Laws  of  1923,  Chapter  136,  Article  30) 


TEXT-BOOKS  FOR  ELEMENTARY   GRADES 

Sec.  3  20.  State  Board  of  Education  adopts.  The  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion is  hereby  authorized  to  adopt  text-books  for  use  in  all  elementary 
public  schools  of  the  State  supported  wholly  or  in  part  out  of  public  funds, 
and  six  months  before  the  expiration  of  the  contracts  now  in  force  it 
shall  adopt  for  a  period  of  five  years  from  a  multiple  list  submitted  by 
the  text-book  commission,  as  hereinafter  provided,  two  basal  primers 
tor  the  first  grade  and  two  basal  readers  for  each  of  the  first  three  grades, 
and  one  basal  book  or  series  of  books  on  all  other  subjects  contained  in 
the  outline  course  of  study  for  the  elementary  grades  where  a  basal  book 
or  books  are  recommended  for  use:  Provided,  the  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion may  enter  into  contract  with  a  publisher  for  a  period  less  than  five 
years,  if  any  advantage  may  accrue  to  the  schools  as  a  result  of  a  shorter 
contract  than   five  years. 

Sec.  3  21.  Books  adopted  for  an  indefinite  period.  At  the  expiration  of 
the  contract  now  existing  between  the  State  Board  of  Education  and  the 
publisher  for  any  particular  book  or  books,  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
upon  satisfactory  agreement  with  the  publisher,  may  continue  the  con- 
tract for  any  particular  book  or  books  indefinitely;  that  is,  for  a  period 
not  less  than  one  nor  more  than   five  years. 

The  State  Board  of  Education  may,  at  any  time  it  finds  a  book  unsatis- 
factory, call  for  a  new  report  from  the  Text-book  Commission  on  that 
subject  adopted  for  an  indefinite  length  of  time.  Moreover,  the  Text-book 
Commission  at  any  time,  with  the  approval  of  the  State  Superintendent 
of  Public  Instruction,  may  recommend  to  the  State  Board  of  Education 
that  a  given  book  adopted  indefinitely  is  unsatisfactory  or  may  be  greatly 
improved  by  the  adoption  of  a  new  book  or  books. 

In  the  event  that  a  change  of  text-books  contracted  for  for  an  indefinite 
length  of  time  is  deemed  necessary  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  or 
by  the  Text-book  Commission,  the  publisher  shall  be  given  at  least  three 
months  notice  prior  to  the  first  of  May,  and  at  the  expiration  of  which 
time  the  State  Board  of  Education  is  authorized  to  adopt  from  a  list  sub- 
mitted by  the  Text-book  Commission  a  new  book  or  books  on  said  subject. 
Moreover,  the  publisher  of  any  text-book  desiring  to  end  a  contract  that 
has  been  extended  indefinitely  shall  give  the  State  Board  of  Education  at 
least  three  months  notice  prior  to  the  first  day  of  May.  In  either  event,  when 
it  becomes  necessary  to  substitute  a  new  book  for  an  old  one  on  the  adopted 
list,  the  State  Board  of  Education  shall  call  for  new  recommendations 
from  the  Text-book  Commission  on  that  book  and  proceed  as  in  the  first 
Instance. 

Sec.  3  22.  Classification  of  text-books.  The  text-books  in  use  in  the 
public  schools  are  hereby  divided  into  two  classes:  (1)  major  subjects, 
which  include  readers,  arithmetics,  language  and  grammar,  history  and 
geography;  and  (2)  all  other  books  on  all  other  subjects  shall  be  con- 
sidered as  minor  subjects. 

Sec.    3  23.      Basal  and  supplementary  books.     All  subjects  on  which  text- 


6  Elementary  Text-books 

books  are  to  be  adopted  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  shall  be  the  basal 
books,  and  all  other  books  necessary  to  complete  the  course  of  study 
shall  be  supplementary   books. 

Sec.  324.  Adoption  of  supplementary  books.  County  boards  of  educa- 
tion and  boards  of  trustees  are  hereby  authorized  to  select  supplementary 
books  necessary  to  complete  the  course  of  study  for  the  schools.  But  said 
supplementary  books  shall  neither  displace  nor  be  used  to  the  exclusion  of 
the  basal  books. 

Sec.  3  25.  The  text-book  commission.  The  Governor  and  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction  shall  appoint  a  text-book  commission  com- 
posed of  seven  members  to  be  selected  from  among  the  teachers,  super- 
visors, principals,  and  superintendents  actually  engaged  in  school  w^ork 
in  the  State,  to  serve  for  five  years  or  until  their  successors  are  appointed 
and  qualified,  and  the  Governor  and  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction 
shall  have  authority  to  fill  any  vacancy  that  may  occur  in  the  Text-book 
Commission,  or  to  remove  for  sufficient  cause  any  member  of  the  com- 
mission. 

Sec.  3  26.  Organization  of  commission.  Immediately  after  the  appoint- 
ment of  the  Text-book  Commission  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction 
shall  cause  said  Text-book  Commission  to  meet  in  his  office  and  organize  by 
electing  a  chairman  and  secretary,  and  shall  adopt  such  rules  and  regu- 
lations to  govern  their  work  as  may  be  deemed  necessary,  subject  to  the 
approval  of  the  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.  The  work 
of  the  Text-book  Commission  shall  then  be  apportioned  among  the  mem- 
bers, and  the  rules  and  regulations  governing  its  work  shall  be  published 
in  the  daily  papers,  and  a  copy  shall  be  sent  to  all  publishers  that  may 
submit   bids  and  samples   of   books   for  adoption. 

The  several  members  of  the  Text-book  Commission  may  work  independ- 
ently, seeking  information  from  every  legitimate  source,  but  if  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Text-book  Commission  receive  information  from  representatives 
of  book  companies  chey  shall  keep  a  record  of  each  such  visit  and  the 
purpose  of  the  visit. 

Sec.  3  27.  Compensation  of  commission.  Each  member  of  the  Text-book 
Commission  shall  be  paid  out  of  any  funds  under  the  control  of  the  State 
Board  of  Education  upon  the  approval  of  the  budget  bureau,  on  the 
requisition  of  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  two  hundred  dol- 
lars ($200)  for  services,  and,  in  addition,  the  necessary  traveling  expenses 
authorized  by  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction:  Provided,  that 
the  chairman  of  this  commission  shall  be  paid  two  hundred  and  twenty- 
five  dollars  ($225).  The  members  so  appointed  shall  serve- for  a  period  of 
five  years,  or  until  their  successors  are  appointed,  and  shall  be  subject 
to  the  call  of  the  State  Board  of  Education  at  any  time  during  their  term 
of  service:  Provided  ftirther,  that  for  any  service  rendered  more  than  one 
year  after  appointment  each  member  shall  be  paid  a  per  diem  of  five 
dollars    ($5)    and  necessary  traveling  expenses. 

Sec.  328.  Duties  of  commission.  The  Text-book  Commission  shall  first 
prepare,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion, and  publish  at  the  expense  of  the  State,  an  outline  course  of  study 
setting  forth  what  subjects  shall  be  taught  in  each  of  the  elementary 
grades.      It  shall  give  in  outline  the  number  of  basal  and   supplementary 


Elementary  Text-books  7 

boolts  on  each  subject  to  be  used  in  each  grade,  in  accordance  with  law. 
All  subjects  on  which  books  are  to  be  adopted  by  the  State  Board  of 
Education  shall  be  basal  books,  and  all  others  shall  be  considered  supple- 
mentary  books. 

After  the  outline  course  of  study  has  been  prepared  and  published  the 
Text-book  Commission  shall  then  prepare  a  multiple  list  of  basal  books  to 
be  submitted  to  the  State  Board  of  Education.  The  multiple  list  shall 
contain  not  more  than  six  books  or  series  of  books  on  all  subjects  where 
two  basal  books  or  series  of  books  are  to  be  adopted,  and  not  more  than 
four  basal  books  for  each  of  the  other  subjects  in  the  course  of  study  for 
each  grade. 

On  or  before  February  first,  one  thousand  nine  hundred  and  twenty-two, 
the  chairman  of  the  Text-book  Commission  shall  submit  to  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction  a  report  setting  forth  the  multiple  list 
of  books  that  have  been  selected  in  conformity  with  the  outline  course  of 
study.  No  book  shall  be  included  in  the  multiple  list  that  a  majority  of 
the  Text-book  Commission  deems  unsuitable,  or  that  does  not  conform  to 
the  outline  course   of  study. 

The  Text-book  Commission  shall  report  whether  any  of  the  major  sub- 
jects containing  a  series  of  books  may  be  divided,  taking  one  part  from 
one  series  and  another  part  from  another  series  of  books  on  the  same  sub- 
ject, and  the  commission's  report  in  this  respect  shall  be  binding  on  the 
State   Board   of  Education. 

Sec.  3  29.  State  Board  of  Education  makes  all  contracts.  The  State 
Board  of  Education  shall  make  all  needful  rules  and  regulations  governing 
the  advertisement  for  bids,  when  and  how  prices  shall  be  submitted,  when 
and  how  sample  books  for  adoption  shall  be  submitted,  the  nature  of  the 
contract  to  be  entered  into  between  the  State  Board  of  Education  and 
the  publishers,  the  nature  and  kind  of  bond,  if  any  is  necessary,  and  all 
ether  needful  rules  and  regulations  governing  the  adoption  of  books  for 
the  elementary  schools  not  otherwise  specified  in  this  act.  After  a  contract 
has  been  entered  into  between  the  State  Board  of  Education  and  the  pub- 
lisher, if  the  publisher  shall  fail  to  keep  its  contract  as  to  prices,  dis- 
tribution of  books,  etc.,  the  Attorney-General  shall  bring  suit  against  said 
company,  when  requested  by  the  State  Board  of  Education,  for  such  amount 
as  may  be  sufficient  to  enforce  the  contract  or  to  compensate  the  State 
because  of  the  loss  sustained  by  a  failure  to  keep  this  contract. 

Sec.  330.  Not  more  than  one  major  subject  to  be  changed  in  any  one 
year.  At  the  expiration  of  the  present  contracts  between  the  State  Board 
of  Education  and  the  publishers  not  more  than  one  major  and  two  minor 
subjects  shall  be  changed  in  any  one  year,  provided  satisfactory  arrange- 
ments as  to  prices  and  distribution  may  be  made. 

Sec.  331.  Publishers  to  register  all  agents  or  employees.  Publishers 
submitting  books  for  adoption  shall  register  in  the  office  of  the  State  Super- 
intendent of  Public  Instruction  all  agents  or  other  employees  of  any  kind 
authorized  to  represent  said  company  in  the  State,  and  this  registration 
list  shall  be  open  to  the  public  for  inspection. 

Sec.  332.  Contracts  now  in  force  not  affected.  All  contracts  hereto- 
fore entered  into  between  publishers  and  the  State  of  North  Carolina 
shall  in  no  wise  be  affected  by  amendments  to  chapter  14  5,  Public  Laws 
1921.
